Billie Eilish and Finneas to Kick-Off London ‘Overheated’ Climate Event

Billie Eilish will be a top presenter at the climate conference "Overheated" in London next month, featuring a mix of musicians, climate activists, and designers discussing the climate crisis and their efforts to make a difference.
The event will include performances by Sigrid and Love Ssega, as well as a documentary featuring Eilish, Finneas, Yungblud, and other notable figures in the industry and activism, with a focus on sustainable practices and a plant-based diet.
Eilish recently showcased her commitment to sustainability by wearing an eco-friendly Gucci gown made entirely from existing materials at the 2022 Met Gala, aligning with her efforts to promote environmental consciousness.
